VIDEO: FAA Looks to YouTube for New Controllers

July 24, 2008 | Posted in: Airline News,Travel Safety

Many of the nation’s air traffic controllers are hitting retirement age, so the FAA is recruiting in…YouTube? MySpace? Craig’s List?

Yes, according to a new CNN report, the FAA’s Robert Sturgell is targeting a new generation of recruits — including recent high school grads — and that’s where they have to advertise:

“We trying to connect with them, where they are.” — Robert Sturgell, FAA

Apparently this is making some current controllers a little nervous, this targeting of teens. Can they handle the “life and death moments”? Well, of course they won’t be handling anything without extensive training.

Any air traffic controllers out there reading this? I’d love your take.
